GOT7's Jackson proves he's in South Korea by meeting Jay Park, fans say 'he's alive'

While Bambam had hinted that Jackson was in South Korea, fans had not heard from him personally since February

It has been a while since we have seen Jackson Wang. Last, he was in his home country, China with his family and attending events and concerts. The K-pop idol has continued to drop new music, music videos and pre-recorded performances, but no one had seen him live after February. There were rumors that he had finally flown to South Korea which was later confirmed by GOT7’s Bambam.

Ever since GOT7 left their previous label, JYPE in 2021, the members decided to focus on their solo careers for the rest of the year. Jackson decided to stay in China where he debuted with the group PANTHEPACK, participated in variety shows and talent competitions as a mentor and expanded his career in the Chinese music industry. However, both Bambam and Mark Tuan had shared that fans would know about a GOT7 comeback when both Jackson and Mark would fly back to South Korea from their respective homes in China and LA.

Well, with the GOT7 comeback nearing, fans saw Mark in Seoul where he even came on Jay B’s radio show as a guest host. And while Bambam had shared that Jackson too was in South Korea, fans were not entirely sure since the Chinese member had not updated fans on his whereabouts since February. But he finally let everyone know that he was in South Korea in the cutest way possible as he met up with Jay Park to do a dance challenge.

Korean rapper Jay Park is currently promoting his collaborative single ‘Ganadara’ featuring IU. He has also been meeting up with idol friends to do TikTok and Instagram dance challenges of ‘Ganadara’. We got him dancing with the likes of (G)I-DLE’s Soyeon, Kang Daniel, Ateez’s Mingi and even GOT7’s Jay B. Well, his next guest turned out to be none other than Jackson Wang.

'My heart'

Fans were pleasantly surprised and realized that they had missed him as they ended up trending Jackson. One fan tweeted, “Who else missed #JacksonWang’s precious smile?” Another Ahgase was happy, “FIRST ACTUAL RECENT VIDEO WE GOT IN A WHILE AND HE'S DANCING.” Another fan added, “So this is the first proof that jackson wang is really in south korea.” One posted, “JACKSON WANG 😭 missed him so much.” Another joked, “Not at jackson wang being away from social media then showing up as if 10000 glow-ups hit him like a truck.” 

One Ahgase couldn’t help combine Jay B and Jackson’s dance video, “Their smiles at the end gives off the same vibes my heart.” Another fan made a reaction meme, “I'm Jackson Wang from China.” One Ahgase made a ‘Shark Tank’ meme, “Jackson Wang being inactive even after ahgases begging him... Jackson Wang doing a challenge with Jay Park.. Ahgases rn : this is all hypocrisy.” One fan said, "WAIT I JUST SAW JAY PARK'S TIK TOK WITH JACKSON !"
